Questions on captured CMP in Africa

Hi all,
Just found a picture new to me (or long forgotten!), shot in Cyrenaica on 29 January 1941.

Is the jib original or it is Italian addition? Also, I ID the truck as 15cwt, right or wrong?
Of course, the second question is on the Ford CMP, not on the Morris CS8 behind it.
TIA!

Hi
That is not a jib but an Italian Breda 20 mm machine gun anti aircraft mount.
And yes I would say a F15 4x2 can 11

Hi Niels,
And thanks for that!
Apparently I must visit my oculist. :bang:
Cheers!
